You might remember when this accident happened 8 years ago this March.
This Southwest Airlines flight from Vegas overshot the runway at Burbank
The plane smashed past the airport fence, careened across the street and ended up with a
collapsed landing gear, right next to a gas station.
But that's not the amazing part!!! scroll down

When Bob was in Sicily, he said they were paying 9.00+ a gallon.
Of course, coming from the stone age era, I remember going quite a ways on .50 cents worth of gas. Now-a-days, I don't think it would even be enough to start the engine. |

Isn't it shocking how big the vehicles were when gas was cheap........
I remember being shocked that gas had gone up two cents, to 54 cents per gallon when I bought my first car. Dang, I'm old.........  |

I remember in college when gas dropped below $1. I felt like I'd gone back in time!  |

| Just below Chevron is the "Fast Pay" sign. I love Fast Pay because I don't think people are taking my money fast enough. I can't be bothered with magnetic strips and pinpads, just take my money. All of it. They should start a Super Fast Pay system. Even if you don't buy gas, your wallet is taken from you and you're issued store credit. Gee, that would be swell! |
